Netflix is set to bring another heartfelt story to the screen with The Life List, starring Sofia Carson. The film, based on Lori Nelson Spielman’s beloved novel, is directed and written by Adam Brooks and promises an emotional journey of love, loss, and self-discovery.
What is The Plot
The Life List follows Alex Rose, played by Sofia Carson, as she embarks on a life-changing journey to fulfill her childhood bucket list, a quest set in motion by her mother’s dying wish. Written and directed by Adam Brooks (Definitely, Maybe), The Life List is a heartfelt blend of laughter and tears. As Alex checks off items from her childhood list, she unearths family secrets, discovers new love, and learns to embrace life in ways she never expected. Carson, who has previously worked with Netflix on Purple Hearts, expressed her deep connection to the project, saying, “This script. This movie. This character. Have my heart. I cannot wait for you to meet Alex Rose.”

Dario Ladani Sanchez and Federico Rodriguez are also part of the cast, though their roles have yet to be detailed.
